COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONImagine our smooth, clean wheat beer with a touch of peach and you get the idea behind O'Fallon Wheach, our peach wheat beer. Refreshing and crisp, it's perfect for warm summer weather. Available April through July in 6-packs

12oz. bottle. Juicy peach aroma, not much else to this one other than a light amount of floral sweetness and some very mild citrus. Perhaps a very slight (and odd) hint of candle wax. Cloudy light-medium yellow-golden color (sediment poured) with a lasting, fine head. Flavor profile is lightly honeyish and sweet to start, quickly infused with a massive amount of peach and gentle wheat malt, these carrying through to the finish, which also features a very mild amount of bitterness and tangy acidity. Mouthfeel is smoothly carbonated and lightly creamy, body is light-medium. Consumed under what has to be nearly ideal weather conditions -- an 88-degree July night. I think it helped my impression of this stuff, which is already a better than average fruit beer.

Hazy pale golden pour with a thin-lacing wispy white head. Fresh sweet, very peachy fruity aroma. Body starts with a good, semi-sweet fruity peach and wheat flavor but thins some toward the finish. I like the peach character but it could use a better base beer.

UPDATED: JUN 28, 2006Taster at the <a href=/events-detail.asp?eventID=3891>Balmoral Brewhaha. Yeah... full-on peach attack, fer sure. I should try this in a Fuzzy Navel. Peach flavor overwhelms its light wheat counterpart. I mean the taste is still very nice, and I’d say it goes down well, but again, it depends on how much fruit you can put in it and still have a beer.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a small, slightly fizzy head. The peach aroma isn’t really all that realistic. I’m not sure if they used natural flavoring in it, but if they did, they used some unripe peaches or mixed in some apricots, which I’ve heard. The fruitiness is almost pleasant in the flavor, but this beer irritates me.

Bottle - huge peach nose - gimmiky, but it’s nice. Clear golden body with nearly no head despite an aggressive pour. Peach flavor - next to no malt or hops. I like it, but it doesn’t taste like beer to me - it is more like a wine cooler.

Bottle (12oz). Sounds like a balcony beer so I’m having it on my balcony - the sailboats are out this afternoon. Cloudy pale yellow with a lasting average white foamy head, quite a bit of sludge in the bottom of the bottle and under the cap. Aroma is peach all right, fresh, ripe tree-sweet peach with only hints of generic witbier backing - plus points for smelling so non-fake. Taste is a little more like a wine spritzer mashed up with peach marmelade - still nice and peachy but it’s sweeter and a little cloying - mouthfeel is syrupy, only somewhat carbonated, sugary and pretty thick - freshness wins me on this, could stand a bit more beer character when all is said and done.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma of florals, mustiness, and peaches. Malty flavor with a touch of peach. Chauky mouthfeel. I do not see how this could really appeal enough to anyone to buy again.

Bottle. Poured cloudy orange with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with minimal lacing. Moderate citrus wheat aroma. Light to medium body with a watery texture. Light sweet flavor with a sweet finishof short duration. I would not recommend this to a freind.
